3.5/4

Great simple recipe that highlights the natural flavors of each ingredient. I substituted olive oil for the butter but I also like the coconut oil idea. I also added corn and avocado. Great fresh taste!

I'm not a huge quinoa fan but this recipe was really good. I'll definitely make it again. The cooking process looked a little laborious so instead I just brought the 2 cups of water and the cup of quinoa to a boil, covered, turned to low and cooked for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from heat and leave covered for 5 more minutes (without peaking). It was perfectly cooked.

I've made this many times, and now, as suggested by others, I melt the coconut oil with a little butter or EVOO and the lime juice and toss that into the salad. Yum.

Very quick and easy to make. I got lazy and didn't do that steaming suggested at the end but it was good anyway.

I make this frequently and my family loves it and asks for it. Last time I made it I substituted melted coconut oil for the butter and it was great. Definitely a different flavor profile but equally as good as the original and it makes the dish vegan and dairy free.

A weekly staple in our home, this recipe is fantastic and super easy to make your own. Add whatever veggies you like and mix up the dressing, and you have a new salad every week. Love it.

This was delicious and ready to eat in 20 minutes! I also followed the directions on the quinoa box ( no rinsing, draining or steaming). Skipped the butter, too much work when you can add extra olive oil. Also added avocado. Yum!

Absolutely delicious. Kids loved it too. I went with the recommendation below and used rice wine vinegar instead of butter. Turned out fantastic.

This is a phenomenal recipe... My friend made it for me but substituted the butter with rice wine vinegar... I can't eat it any other way!!!
